OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Zhenqi fuzheng capsules(ZQFZ)on the immune function of hypoimmune mice.METHODS: The hypoimmune mice model was established using cyclophosphamid;the effects of ZQFZ on the nonspecific immunity,cell immunity and humoral immune function of mice were observed by determining the function of peritoneal macrophage,the delayed hypersensitivity and serum antibody of hemolysin etc.RESULTS:ZQFZ significantly promoted the function of peritoneal macrophages,improved the phagocytic rate and phagocytic index,markedly enhanced the dinitro-chlorobenzene-induced delayed hypersensitivity,and up-regulated the serum antibody level of hemolysin.CONCLUSION:ZQFZ have remarkable action in promoting the immune function of hypoimmune mice.

Cytokine-effects of soluble CD23(sCD23) were investigated in our laboratory. We found that sCD23 prepared by ourself could increase the migration inhibition effect of nomal peripheral blood leukocytes stimulated with PHA. It is proposed that sCD23 may have cytokine-like bioactivities on activated T cell and regulate immune response via an unknown mechanism.

Based on the data of the ISI "Journal Citation Report" in 2006 edition,a statistics for the 88 mi-crobiology science journals has been made. The results showed that these 88 learned journals were published in 16 countries with 3 languages,especially English. And the main countries were United States,England,Netherlands and Japan. The average data of articles and total cites of the 88 journals were 165 and 5226.64,respectively. Moreover,the average data of impact factor and immediacy factor were 3.154,0.45 and 5.84,respectively. Finally,fifty-five learned journals with impact factor over 2.0 were introduced from these jour-nals to be referenced.

Objective:To investigate the effect of brain tissue extract of hypoxia-preconditioned mice (BHP) on tolerance of NGF-induced differentiated PC12 cells to hypoxia and the optimal concentration for protective effect.Methods:The mice model of acute repetitive hypoxia was reproduced and BHP was prepared.BHP was added into the cultures of 4～5 day differentiated PC12 cells and the final protein concentrations of BHP were 1.0、10.0、100.0?g/ml(BHP groups) respectively.Brain tissue ex- tract of normal mice(BN) at the same three protein concentrations were used as controls(BN groups) and PBS solvent control groups were also prepared in which only PBS was added(PBS groups).Then differentiated PC12 cells were cultured in hypoxia (2%O_2).After 24,48,72 hours'hypoxia,colorimetric method(OD_(570nm)) of tetrazolium salt MTT staining was adopted to determine cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) leakage assays were also conducted at the same time.Besides,apoptotic per- centages at late stage(72 hours' hypoxia) were detected.Results:After 24 hours' hypoxia,OD_(570nm) values of BHP groups with protein concentrations being 10.0、100.0?g/ml were significantly higher,but their LDH leakage percentages were significantly lower than those of BN groups with the same protein concentrations and of hypoxic PBS group.With hypoxia prolonging,BHP gradually lost the protective effect.At the time point of 72 hours' hypoxia,OD_(570nm) values of only BHP group at 100.0?g/ml protein concentration was significantly higher than that of the corresponding BN groups,its LDH leakage percentage and apop- totic percentage was significantly lower than those of the hypoxic PBS group.Conclusion:The effects of BHP on tolerance of differentiated PC12 cells to hypoxia depend on its concentrations and on its treating time.Besides,BHP at final concentration of 100.01?g/ml protein showed steady,prolonged protective effect.

Objective:To analyze and determine the main component in volatilization oil which is extracted from the Chinese herbal medicine Kaempferia galanga L.Methods:Volatilization oil is obtained by steam-distillation from commercial available Kaempferia galanga L..After re-crystallization,GC-MS,UV-Vis,NMR,IR were processed for analysis and structure determination.Results:The m/z=205 peak in MS represents the quasi-molecular ion peak.The strongest absorption peak at 304nm in UV-Vis shows that there is big conjugated system in the molecule.Along with the data of chemical shifts and coupling constants of 1H-NMR,13C-NMR and wave numbers of IR absorption peaks,the main ingredient of Kaempferia galanga L.volatilization oil is verified as ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(E)-acrylate.Conclusion:We have employed advanced methods in separation and analysis in the determination of structure of the main ingredient in volatilization oil extracted from Kaempferia galanga L.and get detailed data to support the results,the methods are reliable and the results are dependable.

With advances on drug genomics of leukemia,the drug toxicity has been found to be associated with the drug metabolism gene polymorphisms in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Current researches are to focuse on how to find a genotype to predict methotrexate toxicity effectively and treat patients individually.This review illustrates the association between three drug-metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms including methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase,reduced folate carrer and glutathione S-transferase and toxicity of methotrexate.

Objective To explore the clinical value of Holter heart rate turbulence in diagnosis of patients at high risk for coronary heart disease.Methods 110 patients with suspected coronary artery disease,according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG),were divided into CAG positive group (67 cases) and CAG negative group (43 cases).Heart rate turbulence and heart rate variability were analyzed in two groups.The atrial fibrillation,atrial flutter,and pseudo-differential interference were removed,the qualified ventricular contraction was selected.Two parameters of HRT,the initial shock value (TO) and turbulence slope value (TS) were calculated.Results The average value of TO and TS was (0.36 ± 0.15) ％,(1.98 ± 0.52) ms/RR in positive group,those in the negative group were (-0.87 ± 0.36) ％ and (4.83 ± 0.65) ms/RR,there were statistically significant differences between two groups (t =1.953,1.976,all P ＜ 0.05).After 1 year follow-up,9 cases (13.44％) died in positive group,2 cases (4.65％) died in negative group,the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.476,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The heart rate turbulence with dynamic cardiogram can help to early diagnose the patients at high risk of coronary heart disease.It was important to improve the survival rate of patients.The method is simple,inexpensive,effective,which is worth promoting in the clinic.

The research to improve outcomes in critically ill patients through nutrition support has steadily progressed over the past 4 decades. One current approach to this problem is the addition of specific nutrients as primary therapy to improve host defenses and improve the outcomes of critically ill patients. The field is referred to as“pharmaconutrition”,focusing investigations on each nutrient to understand its pharma-cological effects on immune and clinical outcomes. The purpose of this review was to introduce some of the known pharmaconutrients such as glutamine,arginine,ω-3 fatty acids,vitamin C,zinc,and selenium,regard-ing critical ill adults and children.

Objective:To study the role of APACHEⅡscore pre-operation to infusion of blood preparation during the periods of hepatectomy.Methods:The correlation between APACHEⅡscore pre-operation and infusion of erythrocyte suspension and plasma were analyzed retrospectively in 104 cases who suffered from hepatectomy.Results:Those whose APACHEⅡscore were less than 5 had significantly lower volume of bleeding and lower infusion of erythrocyte suspension and plasma during the operation than those whose APACHEⅡscore were not less than 5(P
